vegas style Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 i was cruzin home from dumont today on the tocopa road about 3-4 miles from front sight road. i see in the distance something as i get closer i see its a large rottwieller walking down the center of the road. i slow down and pull up next to him and see he is isnt doing so well. i pulled over and called him as he walked up i could see he was dragging his toes as he stepped and he was skinny and old. but still a big dog (his back was taller then my knees) i opened a bottle of water and he drank the whole thing. as i was deciding what to do with him i gave him 2 more bottles of water. he seemed to trust me and i was miles from anything i decided to put him in my truck and take him into pahrump. had to pick up his back half to get him on the back seat. soon as i started driving he laid down and looked out the window and looked relaxed. i drove on into the parhump animal shelter it was closed but a passing cop called the on duty animal control guy for me and he showed up right away. said he would give him some food water and a bed. not sure how he ended up out there or how long but at least a few days. even if he ends up getting put down that is a lot more peaceful then what was going to happen out there. so 50 extra miles to my trip home but couldnt leave him and i feel good ! sometimes i like animals more then people.

dunefreak Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 That dog probably escaped from the Pahrump pound and thought he was finally free. Then Steve showed up and brought him all the way back. Jk, you did the right thing. Hopefully the owner or someone else picked him up by now from the pound and he's chillen in a nice comfy house.

Kitcat Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Oh that is so sweet. We found 2 labs while riding at Apex. Some jacka$$ left them out there while riding. We got a hold of the owner and she drove put to get them. The jacka$$ was her boyfriend. I hope she dumped him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOPJAW Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Kind of reminds me of when we were in Utah and found a dog, kept her (thanks kitkat and then 2 months later we had 6 more dogs..... UGH! All is well and the dog we found is named Lucky and has turned out to be a great dog.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 @ Chopjaw.., "stop the truck! There's a dog in the road!" I bet you never heard me yell that loud! Lucky is a great dog (so is Mugsy). That was one of the best trips ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
